lUnfounded Rumors.

A few of the State papers have published
rumors that are calculated to give false
impression respecting the health of Savan-
nah. In view of the fact that some of Sa-
vannahs own citizens, without the least
reason, have peddled rumors of the same
kind, it is not surprising that some of the
State papers should have published them.
If these papers had considered how much
damage they might do to this city by
circulating rumors which they had no
cause to believe were true they would not
have given them place in their columns,
unless influenced to do SO by feeling of
hostility
AS matter of fact, Savannah was never
i'll more healthy condition than at present,
and the opinion of the Sanitary Board is
that it will remain healthy throughout the
season. There have been no signs which
justify fears of an unhealthy season. If
there should be case of yellow fever here
all the world would know it within a very
few hours after it was known to the Health
Officer. The policy of the Sanitary Board
is one of frankness-not of concealnent.
When the announcement was made that
there was yellow fever at Key West, and
that Florida towns were quarantining
against that city, there was some little I'M
easiness felt here, not because of any local
signs OF, threatened sickness of an unusual
character, but because it was apprehended
that the disease might creep up the coast
and reach this city before cool weather.
The fact that Key West is about $50 miles
distant in a straight line, and good deal
farther than that by the routes of travel,
was not taken into consideration. Neither
was the fact that Key West is about sixty
miles from the mainland of Florida,
and is not a much, if any, greater source of
danger than Havana, where the fever is to
be found all the year round, given the
weight to which it was entitled A few
alarmists in this city for a day or two
talked in an alarming way, but they have
gotten over their scare, and have reached
the conclusion that they have not much
reason TO apprehend danger from Key West
yet awhile.
1t is not improbable, however, that their
exhibitions of alarm were not without bene-
fetal effects, because they impressed the
sanitary authorities with the necessity for
vigilance, and awakened the people to the
importance of keeping their premises in a
good sanitary condition.
Savannah does not propose to invite the
fever by lax enforcement of quarantine
or by neglecting sanitary measures, and the
country tributary to her need not place any
reliance upon rumors The condition of the
public health here, whatever it is, win be at
all times fearlessly and frankly published by
the health authorities.

A Sleeper Mystified.
From the CHICAGO Ne1cs.

from the chicago NetcS.
Milton Sawyer is one of the advance agents of
the Modjeska company. He fell asleep week
ago last Thursday and did not wake up until
yesterday. The case puzzled our best physicians
His respiration and temperature were normal
and his sleep seemed to be simply healthy one
No amount of shaking or of restoratives conld
bring him to wakefulness Electric shocks failed
to arouse him. For eleven days he slept a heavy
sleep, and in that time he took no nourishment
of any kind. The case passed all medical UNI
derstanding. Yesterday morning at o'clock
he woke up in his room at the Palmer House
bright and clipper. The first question he asked
was:
Where is Arlxins?"
"ArkiDs?'' repeated the nurse in attendance.
why, what do you means"
Il mean Atkins, that Denver editor said the
invalid.
There's no such person here" said the nurse
You must keep very quiet, for you've been

How long have been here?n asked Sawyer
"Oh. long tme-more than week." an

tell how came here the last thing remember
about it is that Atkins stood at my extreme

Sam Jones as a Prophet.

From the Nashville american.
Even Sam Jones can't always tell what's
coming, remarked a gentleman within hearing
of a reporter
When questioned as to the reason for such an
assertion ne related the following.
- Twas in Pulaski yesterday at the monster
prohibition meeting The court house square
was blocked with people and an organ was Dor
rowed from an adjoining church and placed on
the stand. Sam Jones was in the midst of his
sermon when a dark and threatening cloud
swept over the city, and caused the crowd to
grow uneasy. The speaker was portraying the
horrors of whisky with his accustomed elo-
quence, and seeing the imminent danger of a
stampede, he said in ringing tones
Don't be afraid; we are in the Lords work,
and he will not let the rain interfere with us;
there is no danger of your getting wet.
Scarcely had the words left the speakers mouth
when the cloud burst with a vengeance. and the
rain poured down in torrents. AS the crowd
rushed for shelter, a voice rang out clear and
strong, 'Partake freely of the water of life"

Mississipprs Assassination Case.

The Hamilton Ciambrill assassination case,
which has kept Mississippi in condition of
suppressed excitement for two weeks or
MORE is still the leading matter of interest
in that State. Hamilton, State Senator
and lessee of the penitentiary, is, with two
other men, charged with having assassinated
Cambria, who was the editor of prohibit
ton paper. The killing of Gambrill oc-
Cured within the limits of jackson, the
State capital, and Hamilton was himself
quite severely wounded by Gambrill An
effort is being made to release Hamilton
from Jail on a writ of habeas corpus, and
the proceedings under this writ have brought
out about all the testimony there is to be
obtained with regard to the killing of Gam
brill and the wounding of Hamilton.
The theory of the prosecution is that
Hamilton and two other men followed Gam
brill in a carriage for the purpose of killing
him, and that they began shooting at him
as soon as they overlook him. The TRY
of the defense is that Hamilton and his
party had no intention of attacking Gam
brill, but that when they came up with him
he fired at Hamilton first.
Dooh aiue'S nave tueT pdrbiSdtlS. anu inc
entire press of the State has been engaged
in wordy warfare ever since the shooting
occurred. Several difficulties of personal
character have been threatened because of
Incorporate language used by one side or
the other, and in one instance challenge
was sent and declined. Even the assistant
Episcopalian Bishop of the State has been
drawn into the controversy on account of
alleged expressions of opinion by him favor
able to Hamilton
In few days it will be known whether
Chancellor Peyton, who is hearing the
habeas corpus case, will set Hamilton at lib
erty. If he does, it is pretty certain that
Hamilton will never be convicted of assas-
sinating Gambrill, and if he does not, it is by
no means certain that Hamilton will be con-
victed In the divided state of public opin-
ion it will be almost impossible to get an
unbiased jury, and even if a perfectly fair
jury could be obtained it is far from certain
that verdict of guilty could be secured,
because of the conflicting character of the
testimony, although the belief appears to be
pretty general throughout the State that
Hamilton was the aggressor, and that Gam
brill did nothing more than to try to defend
himself against three men who We're deter
mined to take his life.
Unfortunately for the cause of justice the
case is mixed up with politics. Gambrill
was prohibitionist, and the prohibitionists,
who are strong in the State, have espoused
the Gambrill side of the case. The anti
Prohibitionists have taken the side of Ham
ilton, and the indications now are that the
alleged assassination will be made political
issue, and play an important part in future
political contests in the State

June.
From st. NicholC

FROM 81. NtCHOtUS,
O, Junel delicious month of June!
When winds and birds all sing in tune;
When in the meadows swarm the bees
And hum their drowsy melodies
While pillaging the buttercup,
To store the golden honey up;
., June the month of bluest skies,
Dear to the pilgrim butterflies,
Who seem gay colored leaves astray,
Blown down the tides of amber day;
o, June! the month of merry song.
OF shadow brief, of sunshine longl
All things on earth love you the best
The bird who carols near his nest;
The wind that wakes and, singing, blows
The spicy perfume of the rose;
And bee, who sounds his muffled horn
To celebrate the dewy morn;
And even all the stars above
At night are happier for love,
AS if the mellow notes of mirth
We're waited to them from the earth,
o, June! such music haunts your name;
With You the summers chorus came!

OF course the peddler gave your garment a
careful examination, and in so doing felt the
medal in the pocket. l kept my eye on him so
that he did not dare take It out. He thought il

Two suggestions.

The MORNING NEWS published a com
munication few days ago containing two
suggestions which it might be well for
the city authorities to consider. One
of them is that the garbage hauled
from the city should be burned, and
the other is that Bilbo canal should be
covered While there may be differences of
opinion whether there is harm to be
apprehended from the garbage as it is dis
posed of at present, there is no question that
it would be rendered harmless if it were
burned The Bilbo canal presents problem
that cannot be solved as easily as that
relating to the garbage. To cover it would
not render it wholly harmless, although it
is certain that if it were covered its power
to do harm would be greatly reduced. 1t
might be a wiser plan to do away with the
Bilbo canal altogether by building sewer
to Runaway Negro creek, and thus drain
the citys sewerage into Augustine creek.
A member of the City Council said day
or two ago that it was not improbable
that the building of the sewer in question
might be undertaken by the present Coun-
Gil. The cost would be large, probably
100000, but not larger than the city could
bear. Such a sewer would answer two pur-
poses. 1t would relieve the city of the
Bilbo canal, and it would insure pure water
from the river if at any time after the com
pletion of the artesian well system it should
become necessary to draw water from that
source.
The suggestion relative to the burning of
the garbage might be acted upon at once
and the other might be taken under advise
ment with the view, at the proper time, of
adopting it or of building sewer on the
line herein indicated.

Since the national drill the small boys of
Washington have been crazy about military
matters. In every part of the city they
march up and down the streets, mimicking
the evolutions and movements of the drill
teams" They are rugged out in all sorts of
uniforms Some wear caps made of news
papers and carry laths for guns. There is a
general movement upon the part of the
parents of Washington to use the laths in
another way, but it would be cruel to inter-
fsye with the sport of the boys.

The Next CeuSlls.

Tho announcement that Congress will be
asked to make another appropriation to
finish the publication of the last census re-
port, justifies the suggestion that, perhaps,
too much was attempted when that census
was taken. Between 81, O00,0 900 and $3,OOO,-
600 has been spent already in publishing it,
and between S500,000 and 81 900 900, per-
haps, will be required to finish it. Many
millions were spent in collecting informa-
ton for the last census and preparing it for
the printer, and, when the entire work is
done, it will be found, probably, that the
cost of it is extraordinarily large.
From present indications the census of
1880 will not be completed before the taking
of that of 1890 is begun. Indeed, the time is
close at hand when the question of the next
census will have to be considered.
No particular fault is to be found with
Gen. Walker, who superintendent the last
census. He doubtless followed the wishes of
Congress in the matter. In taking the next
census, however, it would he well to CON
slider the advisability of handling less num-
Der of subjects, and to arrange to have it
published within two years at least from the
time the taking of it is begun. There is no
occasion for heavy essays on special subjects
The people want the simple facts relative
to population, agriculture, manufactures
and other leading matters. 1t is doubtful
il they care very much for the costly maps
and the exhaustive statements about things
of comparatively minor Importance, which
accompany the last census They want the
main facts and they want them at the earli-
est possible moment.
